The Post Punk Progressive Pop Party

The P5 is DEAD! It stands as a piece of 80's music history on the web. To prevent spam, your COMMENTS WILL NO LONGER BE POSTED!

Lime Wire, the P2P, Gnutella & Torrent Client is under a court-ordered injunction to stop distributing and supporting its file-sharing software. In case you forgot, downloading or sharing copyrighted content without authorization is illegal.

The company says it will comply with a court injunction to turn off “the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or file distribution functionality, and/or all functionality” of its software, which remains one of the most popular methods of finding free–and illegal–music on the Web. The company’s moves won’t affect other open source clients that run on the same Gnutella network, like FrostWire.

Meanwhile, LimeWire’s parent company, Lime Group, is prepping a new music service that it says will be legal, and should be due out in a month.

I've never used Slimewire. It seemed like it was virus infested anyway.

Driving over the speed limit is illegal, and kills thousands of people every year.

After we stop that, then we can concentrate on the illegal things that don't kill thousands of people, ok?

About

The Post Punk Progressive Pop Party (The P5) was a radio show that aired every Saturday night on 88.7FM WVHC (now WRHU) Radio Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. Back in 1978, it was among the first stations in the U.S. to play the "New Wave" of music that arose from the ashes of Punk Rock. Other college radio stations caught the wave, followed by some major commercial stations like: 101.9 WPIX N.Y, 92.7 WLIR N.Y, 106.7 KROQ L.A, 91.1 91X San Diego, 105.7 The Quake San Francisco and others.

This blog is a tribute to all of the great music of that era. We listened on cassette and vinyl, we danced to it at nightclubs, we saw the bands before they were famous, we got weird haircuts, we dressed in strange clothes. We were part of a music scene. That scene is back. It's right here online. Don't be square, be there!
